How could I resist painting a sunrise over the milk barn? The light is fleeting this time of day, so special care must be taken to be able to strike when ready! I watch the sky and wait for peak color, all the while I'm laying in the structure of the painting. Horizon, barn and trees, then a few marks for the clouds as their color intensifies. The second I see a dulling of chroma, I lay down all that's left before it all fades away. It's like running a race with the sun! Painting number 5088 in 5088 days.
